Yesterday the Massachusetts Gaming Commission announced revenue numbers will be released on Tuesday, with an agenda item regarding the Encore strike on 10/22. “My expectation is that we will see a negative impact on revenues,” said MGC Commission Chair Jordan Maynard.

Over 1000 workers at Boston's Encore hotel are ON STRIKE! Worker's are demanding better wages, better contracts and the respect they deserve. Encore is one of Boston's few 5-star hotels and their workers need a 5-star contract.

More than a thousand workers employed at Massachusetts’ most profitable casino are striking for job security, union-standard wages, and funding to guarantee their benefits. #SupportTheStrike

Replying to @EncoreResortBH
@EncoreResortBH can make Everett a city where everyone wins, by investing their earnings in the workers who have made the casino a Forbes 5-Star property for 5 consecutive years. Employees should be able to afford to live & raise their families near where they work!

Another clear example of why workers do better bargaining collectively than if they depend on the kindness of the boss.

MIT dining workers have ratified their new contract. In 2029, MIT cooks will make at least $41/hour. We deserve better at Harvard, the wealthiest university in the world! #WhenWeFightWeWin

It's time to put the money in the workers' pockets!

CEO pay rose 20x faster than workers’ pay in 2025. Top CEOs already make 285x what workers do—and they’re fed up. Working people don’t have to accept this. A union contract is how we take back our power and get our fair share of the profits WE create.

💯 Thank you for breaking it down -- most people would not be able to last a week, much less decades, doing these difficult jobs at sports stadiums. @Aramark workers at @fenwaypark deserve raises & respect!

Whenever there are people asking for better pay, there seem to be people who wil say these jobs are for kids and first timers, as if those people are not doing a full time job that is hard. $12 an hour in Boston is criminal.

Don’t buy a hotdog from inside the ballpark while Fenway workers are ON STRIKE! The best dog today is walking the picket line with their person.

“This isn’t just a labor issue. It’s a community issue. It’s about whether the people who serve the hot dogs, pour the beer, and welcome the fans can afford to keep living in the city we love.” -- Fenway workers to @RedSox owner @John_W_Henry boston.com/news/local-news/2…

Fenway food and drink workers say a strike will begin Friday if company doesn’t meet demands

In an open letter, Fenway workers ask Henry: “If Aramark can pay more at other ballparks across the country, why are Fenway workers treated as second-class?”

Pay Fenway concession workers what they deserve. It's not complicated.

"Since Henry acquired the Red Sox in 2002 for $380 million, the team’s value has skyrocketed by more than $4.3 billion, Sanders said. Aramark made $262 million in profits last year and is worth over $11 billion." @SenSanders @BostonDotCom @RedSox boston.com/news/local-news/2…

Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks up for Fenway workers
